Blog brother check out the shot charts to show why Spurs lost Game 3

My favorite tool to analyze a basketball game is a good old- fashioned shot chart.

On these charts, each attempt is marked and placed at corresponding place on the basketball court. It provides a clear picture of which team had the easiest shots in a game.

It’s not surprising when analyzing the Game 3 shot charts of the loss to Memphis show a couple of telling trends. Namely, Memphis got (and made) its attempts in the paint and the Spurs missed a lot of 3-pointers they have typically been making earlier in the season.
